Guidelines for the MBA

Marketing

You sell the sizzle,
Not the steak,
Forget reality,
Market the fake,
To give too much value
Is a mistake.

Accounting

Accounting is not a science
But really an art,
Manipulate the income,
Dress up your balance chart.

Management

Manage employment
Not for enjoyment
But maximum profits
With time-motion deployment,
Downsize your labor force
With a much cheaper
Foreign production source.

Bankruptcy

If into bankruptcy you go,
Get golden parachutes
For managers and the CEO,
You will be clear and free
While creditors pay the fee.
